candle holders have always been an important aspect of home decor. Over the centuries, candle sconces have transformed from utilitarian objects to decorative pieces. Varied designs can be used in any part of the home including living rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms.
Sconces vary also according to the material used.
* '''Wood''': Wood sconces are available in a variety of styles. They require more care and safety since they are flammable.
* '''Wrought Iron''': Wrought iron sconces have a graying black tint and look rustic. They are relatively easy to maintain due to their darker color.
* '''Brass''': iron sconces, but require more regular cleaning.
* '''Ceramic''': Ceramic sconces come with the options of color and are also available in a combination with metal bodies. They require gentler handling due to their fragile nature.
* One of the most important aspects of sconces is size.
* Sconces are either made for single candles or with many small holders.
* Keep in mind the amount of space needed for safety.
* Follow installation guidelines carefully to avoid a fire hazard or smoke stains on the wall.
* Be careful while deciding on the material of the sconces. While iron sconces may require less maintenance and soot stains willow not show, brass or wood sconces may need more care.
